InchDairnie (Strathenry) 10 Year Old 2016 is an innovative and vibrant Lowland single malt Scotch whisky, selected and bottled exclusively for The Whisky Barrel as part of the acclaimed Unicorn Series. Distilled in 2016 and bottled in July 2026, this exceptional single cask has matured in a first-fill Jamaican rum barrel (#1049), producing just 184 bottles at a natural 55.4% ABV. Bottled at natural cask strength, with natural colour and no chill-filtration, it offers a bold and distinctive take on one of Scotland’s most exciting modern distilleries.

Distilled at InchDairnie Distillery, this whisky is released under the Strathenry name. Strathenry is the name used by InchDairnie for its unpeated single malt spirit when it is traded or exchanged with independent bottlers and blenders, making it a name increasingly recognised by enthusiasts of independent Scotch whisky. This release showcases the distillery's modern, fruit-forward spirit alongside the vibrant influence of a first-fill Jamaican rum barrel. Tropical fruits, ripe banana, pineapple, vanilla, demerara sugar, toasted coconut, and warming spice combine beautifully with the whisky's fresh cereal character to create a dram that is both exotic and remarkably well balanced.

As part of The Whisky Barrel’s exclusive Unicorn Series, this release celebrates imagination, craftsmanship, and Scotland’s rich whisky heritage through distinctive artwork and carefully selected single casks. The label depicts a unicorn arriving on a sun-drenched Caribbean island aboard a traditional tall ship, a playful nod to the whisky's remarkable Jamaican rum cask maturation and the adventurous spirit behind every Unicorn bottling.
